Sata drive problem with some chipset within SCCM 2k7 R2
Hi! We're trying to build a deployment infrastructure with SCCM. All our clients are XP Pro, mostly with sata disks. We have a task sequence named SATA We use WMI queries of PNPDeviceID to inject the right sata driver. You should see a screenshot below. Capture1 Howewer, as you see in the screenshot below we have some models which SATA device PNPID is 2920 and 2926 and their Storage sontrollers are ICH 9 4 port and ICH 9 2 port. But whe i open the txtsetup.oem, i cant see 2920 and 2926; there is no option for ICH 9 4 port and ICH 9 2 port .As an example HP Compaq DC7800p is one of these models. Capture2 So, how kind of query am i supposed to use and are ICH 9 4 port or ICH 9 2 Port the same with ICH 9? Thanks for your help Mahmut Okumus Mahmut Okumus www.mahutokumus.com

It is unclear how many different models you are supporting, but if your target is a small number of models, you could use a different variable in place of the wmi query for the device id. Instead you could use a TS variable like MODEL or wmi query for the machine name. The task sequence variable MODEL is equal to the result of wmi query "wmic csproduct get name", which would probably match HP Compaq DC7800p. You could always just use the WMI query. I figure if it has already run the query and is storing the variable, might as well use it. I use this method with 6 tasks in my task sequence covering about 25 models (several models per task) If you have hundreds of models that use these drivers (seems by the screenshot that these are mostly intel matrix drivers), then you may consider injecting the mass storage driver during syspreping your source image. This way the driver is already present, and you will not have to do anything in the task sequence. Injecting mass storage drivers in the image has allowed us to support more than 400 different models (not counting the ones we are adding in via tasks in the TS).
